My left arm feels heavy and numb with associated pain. It has lasted for serveral hours over the past few days. Thank you all for your input.

The sensation goes away when I lie down and my nitro tablet had no effect. I had a heart attack last July that I slept through. My BP is good but I may call my cardiologist tomorrow to be on the safe side.

TIAs (mini-strokes, precursors to a big stroke) is my best guess, but it is just a guess. This is an urgent situation, and you have to get checked out RIGHT NOW! Kat .

If so, let me be direct: ER, NOW! And have someone else drive you. Kat .

So, by now I guess (hope) you have been checked out at the ER. It would be nice if you would come back here and post how you are doing. You have at least a half-dozen people here who were concerned about you...Kat .

Sign. Did it ever occur to you that you might have had a heart attack? Take Max20 advice and go to a doctor.

NOW.

This is a general Q&A site. Not even WebMD. Nobody here is qualified to make medical suggestions.

You should contact a doctor.

When I lay down, the sensation goes away and my BP is good. I believe it is a nerve issue although I have a had a heart attack last July. Thank you for your advice!

I personally, just my opinion, think you are a troll or you're unbelievably dense.

In my opinion, you think very highly of your own opinion with sanctimonious and rude comments made anonymously. This infers that you need this forum to bolster either a huge ego or compensate for low self esteem. Profdar 14 months ago .

I just can't believe that someone who has lived through a heart attack and has been treated by cardiologists would post on a stupid forum in response to typical danger signs of another heart attack. If that makes me a narcissist or proves that I have some mental disorder in your eyes, then so be it.

That is exactly why, having been through the experience, I ruled out that I was having another heart attack. I did take a nitro pill, just in case, but there are other maladies associated with those symptoms. That is why I posted on the "stupid" forum.

I'd still contact a doctor but if you are intent on getting medical advice online, try WebMD seriously. I can't help but remember a story I read in the New York Times about a woman who was choking on some food in a restaurant. She was embarrassed so she ran to the ladies room - where she choked to death.

Do not stop at go. Proceed straight to the hospital as quickly as possible.

You have one of the three major indicators of a heart attack. Call 911 if you don't have a driver and go to the nearest E.R.

Here is a clue, free of charge.... SEE A DOCTOR; probably at an ER .

You need to see your doctor and tell him about the numbness! It could be a heart attach slowly working or a blood clot blocking veins causing umbness or youcould have injured it somehow. Those are merely guesses on my part..find out for sure from your doctor- or if after hours go to your Hospital's ER Department.

The docs there can and will run tests for you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
